FREMONT — Prosecutors have charged three suspects in a series of recent armed robberies that took place at several Bay Area fast food restaurants and convenience stores over a six-month span.

Wahidullah Noor, 21, of Fremont, Anthony Galang, 19, of Hayward, and Silivelio Fanualelei, 22, of Union City, were arrested Sept. 25 on suspicion of multiple counts of armed robbery and kidnapping, among other charges, Fremont police said Wednesday.

The trio is suspected in armed robberies from March to August at various 7-Eleven convenience stores and Pizza Hut, McDonald’s and Jack in the Box restaurants.

During each heist, masked suspects would enter the store, point handguns at the employees and take their wallets, police said. The suspects also tried to breach a safe located in each business and ordered staffers into an adjacent room or large freezer while they robbed the establishment.

No one was injured during any of the robberies, police said.

On the evening of Aug. 24, police were dispatched to an armed robbery at the McDonald’s in the 4300 block of Thornton Avenue in Fremont. The crime had the same pattern as the prior robberies and the trio were later caught during the early morning hours of Aug. 25. The arrests took place at homes in Hayward and Union City, police said. The gun believed used in the robberies was located during a search warrant served following the arrests, police said.

All three suspects remained in custody at Santa Rita Jail on Wednesday and are due back in court later this month, police said.

Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to call police at 510-790-6900.
